Abstract
This essay gives a general overview of how fintech has impacted the financial services sector, highlighting the significance of technologies like blockchain, Robo-Advisors, online payment, and P2P lending. The essay examines how blockchain technology affects financial transactions, including its potential to replace conventional middlemen and improve security and transparency. The rise of Robo-counselors as a disruptive technology that gives investors a cheap and practical substitute for traditional financial counselors is also covered. The article emphasizes the significance of striking a balance between technology and human competence by contrasting the benefits and drawbacks of robot advisors with those of actual advisors. Furthermore, the essay covers the expansion of online payment options, such as digital wallets and mobile payment applications, and how these may change how customers make purchases. Finally, the article explores the potential and hazards raised by the emergence of peer-to-peer lending platforms, which give borrowers an alternative to conventional bank loans. Overall, the article underlines how fintech has the potential to revolutionize the financial services sector, but it also stresses how crucial it is to strike a balance between innovation, financial stability, and regulatory compliance.
